2008 Solara MPG by crazedcommuter

Well my odometer just hit 1600 miles on my 08 Solara SE hardtop 4cyl. automatic. MPG has been quite good so far. 1st tank avg. was 29.3mpg and now my 4th tank just returned 32.1 on a 90% highway trip to NJ and back from DC. I used the tried and true method of miles traveled divided by gallons filled. The MPG gauge read 31.3 mpg. Hopefully it will improve more as the powertrain breaks in further.

2009 4-cyl. Camry MPG by smartblonde

A couple of questions:
1) are you saying that the "Tank Avg" display is probably not an accurate MPG reading? should I just figure it the old-fashioned way of miles divided by gallons?
2) the first fill-up the tank avg. displayed 25.9; the second fill-up displayed 28.9; now it's only reading 23.4-yikes!!! I do a lot of short trip, city driving. I wondered if the brand of gas made a difference (1st was by dealer, 2nd was BP gas, 3rd was WaWa gas). I am bummed that I'm getting such a low reading right now--only have about 600 miles on it.
3) do those Michelin Energy tires (or others) really make a difference in MPG?
 
Thanks for all your help--I have a lot to read through...........

Best way is go fill up only until the pump shuts off. Reset trip odometer. Next time you fill up, go to the same pump and fill up again, noting the miles since last fill-up and the gallons you just put in, divide miles/gallons. Do this many times in a row to get a true average.
 
Tires make a little difference, but the big differences are the driver and the driving conditions.

Well mine varied by .8 mpg compared to the old fashioned way. Several other posts have stated differences between the 2 methods. I read on one of the posts that the computer actually takes its reading off one of the intake lines--not sure if its the air or fuel line. Also, I can reset my mpg gauge for tank to tank comparison by holding in the display button on the steering wheel.

My last tank calculation was 29.2 mpg and the avg. mpg readout was at 32.3--so the computer readout was 3 mpg higher than the actual calculation. There was a good bit of rush hour stop and go on this tank and I altered my commute which takes my over 2 mountains. On this tank I decided to try to keep the RPMs at or under 2000 and moderate my speed against the instant mpg gauge display to see how much it affects MPG.

I just filled up and checked the odometer on my 08 Solara 4 cyl. 478.5 miles and used 16.2 gal of fuel=29.54 mpg. The computer reported 31.2 mpg. This is at mostly hwy speeds 60-80 mph and 70% hwy driving with the defroster on for my 35 mile morning commute. Car now has 5,862 miles. I hope to get higher MPG as it breaks in further.
